A jobseeker is a person who enters the UK in order to seek employment and can provide evidence that/ he is seeking employment and has a genuine chance of being engaged: I(EEA) 2006 reg.6(4).

In England jobseekers are ineligible under Part 7 of the Housing Act 1996. This discriminates against applicants with that type of right to reside, but may be justifiable and proportionate such that there is no breach of article 18 of the Treaty of the European Union (“TFEU”)
